The story so far in the Eerste Divisie for Roda JC Kerkrade at their home stadium (Parkstad Limburg Stadion) is 6 wins, 4 draws and 3 defeats.

Kerkrade are returning here after visiting FC Volendam in a Eerste Divisie game and winning with a 4-3 scoreline. Fabian Serrarens, Patrick Pflücke (2) and Dylan Vente scored the goal(s). Ahead of that match, Kerkrade lost 1-3 at home to NEC.

An impressive turnaround for Kerkrade in the match against FC Volendam as a 0-2 deficit was completely turned around to a 4-3 win. Fabian Serrarens scored the final goal. As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today? World class coaching! That was the thoughts of J. Streppel when Fabian Serrarens scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 65th minute.

Jong Ajax form and stats

Playing away, Jong Ajax have won 5 games, drawn 2 and suffered 6 defeats in the Eerste Divisie this season. It's a growing despair in Jong as they have recorded three consecutive losses.
